Mmsghss Hssuo n Circular Appeal
ing for HAn DepOsRt,

CHIoAao, June 2.--At last nights meeting
of District Assembly No. "a, a secret circular
from Philadelphia was read, officially noti-
tying the Chicago Knights OF the expulsion
OF District Assembly No. 126, and warning
them against receiving any travelling or
transfer cards from that assembly. No ac-
ton was taken and the document was very
coldly received,
Another and an extremely interesting cir
cular Is being received by the secretaries OF
all the local assemblies In this city and all
over the United States. 1t emanates from
District Assembly 1876, and Is an appeal for
assistance and revenge. After reviewing
the facts as above stated, from their stand
point, It charges Master Workman powderly
and the General Executive Board with
criminal ineompetency and hints broadly ut
corruption. Blk specific violations Of the
constitution arc alleged. Barry ls said to
have been In eollnsion with the manufac-
tnrers and his report Is characterized as
false In every respect. He acted dlieetly
against the men without holding any con-
suitatton with them, they say, and declared
the strike on upon the false pretext TINT the
strike was against one man who was a
member OF the order. In other words, he
deliberately sold them ont, they allege, and
WAS sustained In his action by the General
Executive Board. The circular concludes
with an appeal 10 all assemblies to arise
and depose powderly and "the corrupt and
Inefficient gang" with whom he has sur
rounded himself.
From every Indication the appeal will be
met with hearty support from many Of
the Chicago local assemblies. The antago-
niam to Powderly IL not confined to the
Socialists and In this fight Socialism Is not
involved In the dispute. II "a tho Inevitable
struggle between the mixed assemblies and
the trades unions. District No. 40 repre-
sents the former and has formed an alliance
with Powderly, one OF the results OF which,
II Is claimed, was the increase OF the mas
tor workman's salary to $4,000.

How a Man was Dotrauaed.

Chicago, June "A Times special
from Tracey, Mimi, says ~. ]. Harti-
gan of this place, has lost $l1 900. A
stranger named Powell came along and
proposed to Hartigan to start bank.
The organization was Effected and the
concern started, though Powell put in no
capital to speak of. He then issued a
certificate of deposit to an alleged brother
at Tracey for $ll 900. The brother went
east and had the certificate oashed by a
bank in New York. Before cashing the
certificate the New York parties tele-
graphed to Powell at Tracey, and re-
oeived the reply that the money was ON
deposit. Powell left Tracey as soon as
he had finished his part in assisting his
brother TO have the Certificate cashed.n

SALISBURY, MD, June 2.-0ne of the
most complete wreoks that has occurred
in this portion OF the New York, Philndel-
phia a. Norfolk railroad happened hera
late this afternoon. It was caused by o
switch near the station being left open.
At 6 40 O'Clock the north bound through
freight, running at the rate of 25 miles
per hour, and laden with fruit and
vegetables, eollided with south-bcund
local freight, completely demolishing two
large engines and wreoking two heavily
laden cars. Fortunately no one was nurt.
The engineer and fireman of the south
bound train seeing that collision was
unavoidable, jumped TO the ground.
The engineer of the other train did like
wise, but the fireman staid at his post
and, strange TO say, escaped. The damage
is eatimated at $4,000. By 10 O'Clock
tonight the track was cleared of the
debris and through travel was continued.

OTTAWA, June 9.--An additional paper In
relation to the seizure of the British Oolum-
blu whalers In Behring's sea- was laid
before parliament to-day. 1t consists OF a
dispatch from Lord Lansdowne, dated May
2lst, to Sir Henry Haland, secretary for the
Colonies, transmitting the views of the
privy council OF Canada on THO subject,
based on the report by Hon. George Il. FOs-
ter, minister OF marine and flsheriss. This
report after reciting the particulars ot the
seizure already given, proceeds:
Minister Foster further states that from
Information received from the owners ol
the seized VESSELS and from the collector OF
customs at Victoria, he learned tllat James
Ogilyie, IN old man md master llf tho Gar
ollnn, WIS arrested along with the masters
and mates OF the Onward and Thornton
and brought into court for trial; that be-
fore sentence was pronounced he WINS SUI
where no died from want and expOsura,
and TINT the other masters and mates,
after remaining several months In prison,
were released by the order of the governot I
OF Alaska and turned adrlft, literally desA
titnte, to find their way as best they

"0wners of condemned vessels have re-
celved no Information from the United
States authorities Of the release OF their
vessels or restoration OF valuable carRoes
OF seal-skins and equipments on board.
They fear that the Indians will have carried
everything valuable from the vessels, and
II the owners are compelled to receive them
at Ounalnska, where they were detained,
It makes necessary the chartering OF a
steamer, with men and supplies, Mt great
expense and round a voyage Of 5000 miles
to bring vessels ut Victoria. Owners, there-
fore, consider this good ground for claim
ing consideration from the United States
authorities when the question OF repara-
tiOn Is being settled.
"The privy council concur In the report
OF the minister OF fisheries, and asks the
governor-general to call the attention OF her
majesty's government again to the grave In
justices done by tho United States authori-
ties to British subjects peaeeably pursuing
their lawful occupation on the high seas
and to tho great delay which has taken
place In inquiring into and redressing the
wrongs committed, and to the severe. In.
hospitable and uniustiilable treatment Of
the officers and crews OF vessels seized
and to the serious loss inflicted upon the
owners Of the same In order that full and
speedy reparahon may be made by the

New York Thursday in custody of three
detectives and the keeper OF Auburn
prison, from which Hope escaped while
serving term for burglary. Detective
Rogers and Keeper Parsons went to San

into their custody upon their arrival
there, May 25th. No attempt was made
to rescue Hope, and the party arrived
safely at Chicago, where the other two

TEE ROSE BUG.


EAsroE, ND, June Talbot peach
growers report no appearance of the roae-
bug on the peach trees In this county.
Mr.. ]. w. Kerr, veteran nurseryman of
Caroline county, does not think these in
scots are particularly hurtful to peaches,
and will avoid them as long as they can
find more palatable food. They do great
damage to grapes, and on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia sometimes destroy the
entire grape crop. A profitable peach
crop, but not large one, is anticipated
In Talbot this year. II no damage befalls
the wheat before harvest the crop will be
one of the largest ever yielded in Talbot
county.
